Before cannabis was legal in Michigan, our friends and I used to bake up weed brownies.
They weren’t undoubtedly good.
They had a unusual taste and texture. The people I was with and I didn’t know anything about the potency of the weed and so had no clue about dosing. The people I was with and I occasionally ate way too much and had a disappointing experience! Because of this, I was reluctant to try the cannabis-infused edibles at the dispensary, but now that recreational cannabis is legal in Michigan, I’m able to shop for a wide variety of products in Ann Arbor. I tried out the dried flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, extracts and tinctures. The budtenders kep recommending the cannabis-infused edibles. I finally admitted that I was concerned about disappointing flavors and textures. They assured myself and others that the process of infusing cannabis into edible treats has come a long way, and when I finally agreed to give them a try, I was amazed. I’ve now become a fan of edibles. I love that I don’t need any specialized skills or accessories… Edibles are incredibly simple to consume. They don’t create any odors, ash or odors. The local dispensary carries a big menu of options. I can choose from traditional brownies, gummies of all flavors and cookies. There are also milk, dark and white chocolates, hard candies, peanut butter cups, popcorn, mints and capsules… Just recently they have added a selection of beverages. There are cannabis-infused tonics, colas, root beers, lemonades, mocktales and cannabeers. There is a line of cooking oils, butters and marinara sauces. I am having a lot of fun trying out the odd options. I love the intensity and delayed onset of effects.
